I only know because the grandfather is a guy I especially collect and have a couple of books on; he is featured on one of the great tobacco card rarities of which only 5 are known outside of this uncut sheet of 8 proofs I have. He finally came in handy in trivia! I believe the Donovan clan is also the only 3 generation lineup of hall of famers across any sport/sports.
I can't think of any other answer to the question. The Rote's, as was mentioned by Bob, could count if the non-professional College Football Hall of Fame is eligible as Kyle Sr. is in the Collegiate Hall.
Ken Norton is a a boxing Hall of Famer, and his son Ken Norton Jr. made 3 Pro Bowls but is not in Canton or the college football hall of fame. He's appeared on some college ballots, and he's not that far from Canton, just like Calvin Hill.
Jack Snow and J.T. Snow were both pretty good but neither will ever make a Hall.
NBA star Joakim Noah's dad Yannick was a tennis star. I had to Google if Yannick is in the hall, and it appears he is in the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Joakim was really good and retired just a couple years ago but will not make the Hall.
Those are the only ones I can think of where both father and son were very good players in different sports.
